RECIPE ⤵️ https://dawnspitfire.wordpress.com/2017/02/06/longboy-cheeseburger/

My dad use to make these regularly when I was growing up; but I thought he made it up 

This is his original recipe – (‘pet’ milk means evaporated milk; his shorthand).

Below is another version I found in an old cookbook…

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 loaves brown ‘n’ serve French bread
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. In a 2-quart bowl, mix together first eight ingredients. Cut each loaf of bread in half lengthwise; spread one-half of meat mixture over each half, covering all the way to edges. Place on baking sheet.
2. Bake at 350° for about 25 minutes or until meat is cooked, sprinkling with cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking. Cut into slices to serve. Yield: 8 servings.

Of course, fresh dairy products are the best, but in this house, cans of evaporated milk in the pantry have sure saved the day.
